I'm trying to piece together the varying issues I'm seeing here. It looks like the Wi-Fi driver is somehow preventing deep sleep on the phone and that lack of deep sleep may be the cause of devices that have the screen come on from touching the camera button. I had set the Wi-Fi to never sleep before the Wi-Fi locking was fixed a while back and I never changed it back. I'll test this for both battery life and waking on camera to see if it's truly the case.

Using CPU Spy and Better Battery Stats, I'm not showing anything processes that are keeping my phone in partial wakelock, it's all fully awake, even though the screen is turned off. My best guess is that it's the Wi-Fi causing the problems.

Edit: I confirmed that the Wi-Fi is causing the camera button waking. After turning off Wi-Fi, then turning off the screen and waiting 60 seconds, the camera button no longer turned the screen back on.

So are u just trolling then? You decided not to use the ROM, cool. You announced it, whatever. You got feedback (even tho you already said you were done with it) by the ROM Dev himself, and responded by just brushing it off? Why are you even here?

[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
LOTS of suggestions for this have been discussed throughout the thread. You'll find them if you run quick search.

Mostly, though, you will find:

* Install CPU Spy from the Market (free) and review results. Your phone should display that it goes into Deep Sleep when not in use. If it doesn't go into Deep Sleep something is keeping it awake (wakelock) and you should follow the next step.

* Use Spare Parts (installed) and Better Battery Stats (search for it on XDA for the free XDA version, or support the developer by purchasing from the Market). This will show you the wakelocks and what is keeping the phone from going into Deep Sleep and wasting your battery. After that, react accordingly.

* Most culprits are apps that are constantly sync'ing or accesing data. So disable sync'ing, or make the intervals as far apart as you can.

I am running nightly 14 (as of late last night, was running RC0 with Wimax before) and I have Facebook and Twitter sync'ing with the longest interval, I have all my Google services sync'ing (calendar, Gmail, Picasa web albums, contacts). I have, however, disabled Latitude since I hear it's a major drainer.

As you can see on the screenshot below, last night I had lost only 40% after 16+ hours. That was, of course, with light use. You have to consider your usage.

I've also included a sample screenshot of CPU Spy, please keep in mind that was while on another ROM. But the basics apply, light use should equal high percentage of Deep Sleep, which means phone is sleeping correctly and not wasting battery.

I think that's all I got with my limited knowledge... and remember, don't forget to search ;)

Wow, this thread used to be useful. Now it reads like a bunch of *****y little girls posting on facebook.

I love CM7. Yes, there are a few "bugs" that need to be worked out, but it runs better than the original version of GB released by SamSprint. Just like everyone else, I would like the volume fixed when i answer the phone, and I hate the annoying ringing in my ear when I don't flip over to a new incoming call. I deal with it because everything else runs better. I also have faith that the devs will fix every issue they can.

To any dev reading this post I just want to say, THANK YOU! Keep up the great work.

As long as juicedefender disables my radios while sleeping I get great standby battery. This rom does seem to suck juice though while in use (battery graph included). Using conservative governor, may downclock it a bit or install an undervolted kernel to see what else I can do to help (screenshot from nightly 11 as of last night, just installed 14 today)http://img.tapatalk.com/6b3714af-375f-e898.jpg

Absolutely loving cyanogen though and thank you to developers for all your hard work. I am pretty amazed how entitled some people feel from free/open source development.
[Epic 4G Android Development] the_details:
I use conservative and set the max clockspeed to 800 with great results. Also, I've found that flashing the nightlies as often as I do sometimes messes up the battery reporting. There have been a few days where the phone reports that the battery is low and powers off the phone, and I turn it on a few minutes later and I've got over 25% and get hours more out of it.

Also, hopefully you've removed all triggers from your house/life.

As the nicotine in your body decreases, there will be a habitual alarm that goes off. This will happen most once you stop smoking altogether. After your body has purged all the nicotine, and that alarm stops ringing, there will be things that will mentally trigger it again (different for everyone)...ash trays, the smell of smoke, someone smoking on TV, finishing a meal, etc. You will know what these triggers are for you.

I can go into more detail, but I don't want to fill up the thread any more, hit me up in a PM if you're interested.

This is my first time ever flashing CM7 so I feel like a complete noob asking this. Is there any themes for the status bar and notification area?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jtw78:
Nightly 14 told the phone to not wake up when the camera button is pushed, but that doesn't change the issue that the phone is not entering deep sleep when Wi-Fi is on. I don't really care what the camera button does, but the phone not going into deep sleep is killing my battery.

I'm running RC0 w/ WiMax and EI22 Modem.

I tried setting the Wi-Fi to sleep when the screen is off, but that doesn't seem to happen.

Something in the Wi-Fi code is keeping the phone from sleeping and also causing the camera button issue.

Edit: I also deleted wifi_supplicant.conf and rebooted and Wi-Fi is still preventing deep sleep. Using CPU Spy, my largest percentage is in the 100MHz range.

I have my wifi on never sleep, and my phone sleeps fine.

Are you on RC0, or nightly 14?

And, to preempt the other people who will be big meanies about it: To the extent the camera button was an "issue", it's not anymore. (And was never "caused" by anything, unless you count specifically being told to do that a "cause".)

Are you charging your phone, cause if so, that's why it's not sleeping, afaik. No need to downshift into battery sipping mode if it's not on battery.

Go into the messaging app, hit the settings key then check sms split and it'll cut it off at 160 per message. And to be more sure I add split counter out of an old habit, allows you better control of when to stop and start onto a new message.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jtw78:
Nope, this is off the charger usage that I'm recording.

I'm currently on RC0 w/WiMax, I didn't realize that the Wi-Fi drivers had changed from the RC0 to the nightly builds. I didn't see any reason to jump to the nightly just to solve a "bug" with the camera button that's not a bug but an issue with the phone not sleeping.

I've traced it to the Wi-Fi on my phone, but it could just be the drivers on the RC0 w/WiMax ROM. I'll flash and re-test when I've got the time.

[Epic 4G Android Development] rprockey:
I can confirm that the auto exposure doesn't work well while shooting video. I haven't tried with the front camera, good find, maybe they can look at one configuration to fix the other.

To reproduce, point your camera, at your keyboard and switch it to video mode, then bring it up til your monitor is in frame, the exposure is completely blown out. Still pointed at your monitor, switch to still mode and back to video, the camera adjust only at the point when the camera app is switched to video.

Can't vouch for the seller (I just picked one) but that battery is very high quality, performs great under high and low load conditions. I can use the phone all day and not charge it. Requires a deeper cover, though (which I actually like - I have big hands and it makes it more cofortable to hold, actually)

Quick question and I apologize if this has been repeated, but downloading Nightlies from ROM manager, do we need to download the Google apps option each time if they were installed already on a previous build?

As for people who have Wifi sleep issues, this phone seems to be sensitive to other things going on in the network from my experience. Even on stock roms my phone had problems sleeping as much as it should left overnight with wifi on if I left a particular computer on in my house. If I shutdown that laptop it would sleep like a baby. Apparently something running on it must have been pinging my phone. Meanwhile my kid's Samsung Conquer never had a problem.

Last, I unmounted the sd card, and rebooted.. PROFIT.

camera button change

Just wanted to say thank you for changing the behavior of the camera button. While it wasn't a bug, it was annoying (and I believe worse for battery life even if it was a feature) to have the screen turn on constantly when I had the phone in my pocket.

Please do not revert this change in the future, or at least make it an option in the settings menu.

Once again, thank you for changing this!

Edit: I wanted to add that after installing nightly 14, I looked at cpustats and betterbatterystats and didn't see any processes causing partial wakelocks, and I hadn't changed any apps installed between nightly 13 and 14.

The gapps problem is with rom manager not the CM7 rom itself. I have been flashing every nightly but 12 and 13 with the 3 finger method without reflashing gapps w/ no issues.

Nightly 12 w/ rom manager I left gapps checked and it reinstalled them. No issues.

Nightly 13 w/ rom manager I unchecked gapps and ran into missing apps all together and a few fc's.

So I rolled back to a backup I made of RC0 w/ wimax. Thinking something got screwed up. It restored everything even the gapps.

Flashed Nightly 13 using the 3 finger method. Did not reflash gapps and everything was good.

Flashed Nightly 14 without reflashing gapps with 3 finger method everything is still there and works.

The person sending you the email is probably using MS Exchange and/or Outlook. I'm assuming the email address you're getting mail from is probably an internet address, like Gmail, Yahoo, whatever. Because Outlook contains Rich Text, and some internet emails don't, that's why you're seeing the Winmail.dat file.

I was an Exchange admin a few years back, and that was driving us crazy for a while. There is an option within Outlook you can change so it never happens, but of course, that has to be done from the person SENDING the message, not you who is of course receiving it.

Now, Internet mail has certainly changed a bit in that time, so I might be outdated with my info, but as soon as I saw 'winmail.dat' I remembered the friggin countless hours I spent trying to figure the same thing out.
